Dai Manxing saw that Chen Ling didn't nod and handed the menu to the waiter.
Shen Ling looked at the red wine brought up by the waiter and realized that Dai Manxing had also ordered red wine.
After Dai Manxing waited for the waiter to leave, he first poured a glass of red wine for Shen Ling, and then filled it up for himself.
After finishing everything, she toasted Shen Ling and drank most of it herself.
Shen Ling looked at Dai Manxing, who drank like water, and re-evaluated her character in his heart.
Looking at Dai Manxing, who was so elegant even when drinking so heavily, I suddenly became curious about her real background.
Out of politeness and indifference, he did not investigate Dai Manxing's identity.
"Mr. Shen, we know each other now, why don't we just call each other by our first names? It's awkward to call each other Mr. or Miss."
Dai Manxing was obviously more talkative after drinking than during the day.
Chen Ling watched Dai Manxing finish the drink in one gulp, then rest his chin on his hand and looked at him, nodding in agreement.
"Then I'll call you Manxing just like Ranran."
"what ever."
When Dai Manxing heard this, his expression froze slightly, and then he spoke indifferently and enjoyed the food in front of him alone.
The atmosphere was so awkward that people who didn't know them would think they were sharing a table.
Chen Ling looked at Dai Manxing, who had a slight expression when Yu Ranran was mentioned, and silently rolled up his sleeves.
"Has Manxing ever lived in City S before?"
Facing Shen Ling's question, Dai Manxing tucked her hair before speaking slowly.
"Not really."
"These dishes are all specialties of City S. It seems that Manxing and City S have a strong connection."
"uh-huh."
Dai Manxing responded with a nasal tone and made no comment.
Soon after the dishes were served, the two of them concentrated on eating without any further communication.
After Shen Ling used it simply, he looked at Dai Manxing who was eating and drinking, tapped his palm and suddenly spoke.
"Full star, don't drink too much."
bump!
Because of these words, Dai Manxing suddenly slammed his palm on the table, directly attracting the attention of everyone in the restaurant.
"Feel sorry."
After she realized her loss of composure, she raised her eyes and spat out two words at Shen Ling.
A young woman at a distant table looked over curiously at Dai Manxing's movements, but stopped moving when she saw Shen Ling.
Doctor Shen?!
Why wasn't he sitting in his usual seat? And what about the woman next to him?
Song Meiling thought of the news she heard during the day, hesitated for a moment, and walked over with a glass of red wine.
Dai Manxing is here.
Shen Ling looked at Dai Manxing who suddenly lost his composure and shook his head to indicate that he didn't mind.
"Doctor Shen, what a coincidence, you are here to eat too. This is——"
Soong Mei-ling pretended to have met him by chance and exclaimed in surprise.
"Well, Dr. Song, she's my friend."
Shen Ling didn't expect to meet a colleague from the hospital here. Although he didn't want to say much, he could only patiently explain at this moment.
Because Dai Manxing is a celebrity, this time he chose a corner with many potted plants instead of the window where he usually sits.
This is also the reason why Soong Meiling did not notice the two of them when she first arrived.
Manxing lowered his head and watched the two people communicate silently.
Unexpectedly, I met Song Meiling by chance. At first, I just wanted to communicate further with Shen Ling, but I accidentally met an assist.
She lowered her head in thought and continued to listen to the conversation between the two.
"Friends." Song Meiling didn't expect that the assistant was right.
As soon as she got closer, following her woman's intuition, she smelled the perfume from Dr. Shen's office that morning.
Thinking of her, he glanced at Dai Manxing, who was not paying attention to them, with some dissatisfaction.
"Hello, Miss. My name is Song Meiling and I work in the same hospital as Dr. Shen."
"Miss, would you mind telling me your name?"
She gave Dai Manxing a standard smile and spoke.
When Dai Manxing looked up, Song Meiling looked at Dai Manxing, whose facial features were delicate and beautiful. A dangerous look flashed in her eyes, but she quickly relaxed.
According to her investigation and observation, Shen Ling obviously doesn't like this type of girls.
Gentleness and refinement should be matched with an elegant lady like her.
Unfortunately, she couldn't maintain her ladylike image for long, and Dai Manxing's words later ruined her image.
"Miss, you..."
Seeing that the other party ignored her, Song Meiling's expression froze for a moment before she spoke.
"My name is none of your business! Don't bother me here."
Dai Manxing had been feeling a bit annoyed since she saw the news, and Shen Ling's words just now reminded her of an unpleasant time. Looking at Song Meiling standing in front of her and chattering, she couldn't help but confront her directly.
"You! I'm just asking politely, why are you swearing, Doctor Shen..."
Song Meiling didn't expect Dai Manxing to have such a bad temper. She immediately said something aggrieved and looked at Shen Ling.
Shen Ling looked at the two people who were making more and more noise, and disgust flashed in his eyes behind the lenses.
But he still put on his standard gentle smile and tried to smooth things over.
"Doctor Song, Manxing might be a little drunk, don't—"
Before Shen Ling finished speaking, Dai Manxing suddenly spoke.
"Shen Ling, have you eaten?"
Looking at Dai Manxing's irritated tone, Shen Ling inexplicably guessed what the other party would think next.
"I'm done eating."
"We're done eating, let's go."
Dai Manxing was too lazy to listen to Song Meiling pretending to be a little white lotus here, after confirming that Shen Ling had finished eating.
He took out a few red yuan bills from his bag, grabbed Shen Ling’s wrist and left the restaurant.
Seeing that the other party was just pinching his clothes, and since he also wanted to leave, Shen Ling resisted the urge to shake off his hand and followed Dai Manxing silently.
Song Meiling in the restaurant didn't expect Dai Manxing to play by his own rules. Looking at Shen Ling being dragged away, she couldn't shout at him like a shrew.
He could only stare resentfully at Dai Manxing's back as he pulled Shen Ling away.
Damn it! Who is this woman?
Dai Manxing got in the car and leaned against the window, letting the city evening breeze blow. Looking at the endless stream of cars, she suddenly spoke.
"If you don't like it, why don't you come out? Aren't you tired of pretending?"
She glanced sideways at Shen Ling who was driving, somewhat unable to understand.
According to her temper, she won't say a word to someone she doesn't like.
But Shen Ling had no feelings for her and Dr. Song, but he still managed to put on a smiling face and chat with them.
Why?
Hearing this, Shen Ling's lowered eyes seemed to hide an abyss of malice, dark and unclear, but in the blink of an eye, he raised his mask-like smile again.
"Thank you, Manxing, for tonight."
He didn't answer.
Dai Manxing seemed to have heard a joke and couldn't stop laughing.
"Hahaha~ Shen Ling, are you sick? Everything tonight is because of me. You can't just thank me randomly because you don't want to answer."
“…”
Chen Ling listened to and looked at Dai Manxing, who was laughing like a bell in the passenger seat, and a dangerous signal flashed across his eyes again, but in the end he just pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Okay, I didn't laugh at you. Thank you for the ride today."
Dai Manxing watched the car drive into the residential area and put away his dramatic expression.
"By the way, don't mind what happened in the restaurant just now. It has nothing to do with you."
Dai Manxing, who had gotten off the car and was halfway there, suddenly turned back and said this, then strode away with his hat on.
Shen Ling watched Dai Manxing going upstairs wearing a hat, and after sitting in the car for a few minutes, he suddenly chuckled.
"Did you do this on purpose?"
He looked at the rearview mirror with an ambiguous expression, and through it he could see a guitar lying on the back seat...
